To a2? whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH T. Coornn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Lebanon, in the county of Marion and State of Kentucky, haveinvented new and. useful Improvements in Combined Furnaces andCooking-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to stoves and furnaces, more particularly tocombined furnaces and cooking stoves and has for an object to provide adevice that can be used to either heat a room or can be employed forcooking purposes.

The invention embodies, among other features, a stove which can beconveniently employed for heating purposes, asfor instance to supplyheat toa room or the stove can be used as a cooking stove, as will bereadily apparent from the following description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings constituting a partof this specification, in which similar characters of reference denotecorresponding parts in all the views and in which Figure 1 is a sideelevation. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 3 is asectional view taken on the line 3-3 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a sectionalview taken on the line 44 in Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the views I provide a casing 10 mountedon suitable supports 11 and having a top 12 provided with openings 13adapted to constitute apertures for suit-able cooking receptacles andnormally covered by an urn 14 for removable engagement with the top 12.Disposed in the casing 10. is a grate 15 beneath which a space 16 isprovided constituting an ash pit and over and spaced from the grate 15is disposed an oven 17 having a compartment 18 beneath the same, thesaid compartment being provided with air fiues 19 extendingtherethrough, the said fines being adapted to receive air from a roomand convey the same beneath the oven 17 so that the air will be heatedwhen it leaves the casing 10. A vertically extending cold air fine 20 isprovided in the rear of the casing 10 and has connection with a chimneypipe 21, an opening 22 being provided for permitting the smoke from thefire in the casing 10 to pass outwardly into the cold air flue 20 andthence into the chimney pipe 21.

door 23 is mounted on the lower portion of the casing 10 adjacent thegrate 15, the said door being provided so that the combustion 1n thecasing can be readily controlled. The furnace door 24 having a handle 25is mounted on the casing 10 exteriorly thereof and an oven door 26having a handle 27 is hingedly mounted on the casing 10 so that accesscan be gained to the oven 17.

In the use of my device when it is desired to use the same for heatingpurposes, the urn 14 is disposed on the top of the furnace to close theopenings 13 and a fire having been started in he casing 10 on the grate15, the resulting heat will radiate from the casing and heat the room.By providing the air fines 19, the air will tend to circulate throughthe fines and become heated after which it will mingle with the colder.air in the room, thus tending to heat the same. As cold air tends tomove downwardly and warm air tends to rise, the cold air circulatingaround the lower end of the casing 10 will move upwardly through theflue 20, and be carried outwardly through the stove pipe.

When it is desired to use my device as a cooking stove the urn 14 isremoved from the casing 10 and various cooking receptacles can then bedisposed over the opening 13, the oven 17 being adapted to be used inbaking or broiling various products.

For the convenient use of the device disclosed, a second stove pipe 28is shown extending laterally outward from the casing 10 and atrightangles to the chimney pipe 21, a cap 29 being provided forremovable engagement with either of the pipes, the cap 29 being mountedon one of the pipes when the other is in use. To control the amount ofair passing through the fine 20 a damper 30 of any ordinary'type ismounted to swing in the flue 20, the said damper having a suit-- ablehandle 31 arranged exteriorly of the flue, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

My device is preferably adapted to be made in a small compact form sothat the same can be conveniently carried in a wagon or vehicle, thusconstituting a combined portable furnace and cooking stove.

Although for the purpose of describing my invention 1 have shown aparticular construction thereof it will be understood that the scope ofthe invention is defined in the appended claim and that variousdepartures may be made from the construction shown,

provided I do not depart from the spirit of.

A combined furnace and cooking stove,

comprising a casing extending from the casing and provided having a coldair flue base to the top of the with an opening to the interior of thecasing, a damper in the flue for controlling the flow of cold airthrough the cold air 'flue and thereby controlling the draft from theinteriorof the casingthrough the said opening to the cold air flue, agrate horizontally in the casing,

mounted in the casing and spaced from the 15 floor to provide an ashpit, an oven in the casing, a compartment formed between the said ovenand the said grate and arranged and a series of dues mounted in parallelrelation to the compartment and extending horizontally through thecasing.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
